IntechOpen Environmental Toxicology - Understanding, Impact, and Mitigation Strategies for a Sustainable Future

Environmental Toxicology - Understanding, Impact, and Mitigation Strategies for a Sustainable Future provides a comprehensive overview of this crucial field of public health and sustainability research. The book offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary examination of the intricate relationships between biological systems and environmental pollutants. It also offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the multifaceted interactions between environmental contaminants and biological systems. This book comprehensively and interdisciplinarily examines the multifaceted interactions between environmental pollutants and biological systems. It has been prepared to support the understanding of the general structure of pollutants, including industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and heavy metals that harm our environment and, consequently, living organisms, and to explain their toxic effects. Written by academics specialising in toxicology, this book bridges the gap between fundamental mechanistic research and applied environmental issues. The chapters provide an in-depth examination of the molecular biomarkers of exposure to environmental toxicants and the emerging toxicological paradigms. Beyond characterizing toxic effects, the studies presented also highlight innovative approaches to mitigating these effects. They also examine technological methods that contribute to predictive toxicology as important strategies for minimising toxicological risks.
